During the run of the program, the cleaning lady makes an appearance to woo a frog
that has jumped on stage. Led to believe it's a prince in disguse, she captures the
bouncing creature and kisses it. She leaves with her head full of dreams. But we see
her agony is not without reward. The frog was a prince indeed! The green carpet is
rolled out to them as the two reappear to share with us their consumation into holy
matrimony. A flash of folly is thrown at them and the two turn and return into the
confines of the open door. Sergeï and Balthazar, our two clowns, closely follow our
happy couple as they "mow" the green carpet back into submission. Reality and fantasy
once again go their seperate ways and the party known as La Nouba comes to a close
and with it, the lights dim.
